Pattern Notes: Outdoor Snuggle
from Nursery Knits by Zoe Mellor

I gave this to my best friend at her baby shower, along with the Wild Stripes blanket.

Yarn: Rowan Wool Cotton; some random unknowns for the motif and edging
Color: blue, orange, yellow
Needles: US 5
Zipper: white, from Walmart

I bought this yarn at the Whippletree Yarn Shop when I was on a business trip to Woodstock, VT. I ended up needing an extra skein which I ordered from them later. I just recieved the errata for this book (thanks, Andy!) and it turns out that I was supposed to need that extra skein! The shop did have the same dye lot (yay!) and ended up buying 2 extra skeins, just in case, and so I have an extra skein and a half of this yarn left.

The yellow and orange yarns were tiny partial skeins that the shop was selling for 25 cents each, and since they were about the right weight, I figured I would save money, instead of buying full skeins in those colors. I knit the pattern as written, for the most part, but had to "fudge" some spots. I didn't document very well the exact modifications I made, but I seem to remember them being around the neck and flaps. After seeing the errata, I now know that I am not as bad at counting stitches, as this pattern had me thinking, lol.

Care: Handwash. Lay flat to dry.
